This will be interesting, as last year, all we heard about was the latest Star Wars opening, record ticket sales, theaters showing it 24/7, and so on.

Numbers to keep in mind:

1. The record is $257M, set by Star Wars 7.

2. Other than that, the biggest DEC opening is $85M, by The Hobbit.

Almost everyone I see seems to think Rogue One (which for casual SW fans like myself, is a standalone film, not a sequel or prequel...has to do with events just prior to the original film, which is often referred to as 4 in the SW universe) will take in somewhee between those 2 numbers.

I'm interested in seeing how many tickets are sold in advance, as 7 did over $100M before anyone saw it, and about 80% of that was for opening weekend.

Whatever strikes me as
interesting, and serious Milwaukee Brewers thoughts. If you are a believer
in respecting OBP, throwing strikes, and keeping the ball in the park,
you may have found the place you've been searching for. I believe in low taxes, small government, and am not afraid to be labeled patriotic. If you are interested in sausage race results, walk up music, or professional wrestling, you may wish to click elsewhere.
